A study of 3D printing at Griffith University’s Menzies Institutehas created a ‘bioprinter’, that will be able to grow both human tissue and bone based on a patient’s cells. The newly printed body parts could revolutionise the dental industry and help rural communities receive quicker and better oral health care.

No, it is still in research stage, but the race is on to bring bioprinting to medical reality. It is only a matter of time.
